Test your knowledge and find out the answers in the third Brain Trivia game from BrainFacts.org with moderator Bill Griesar, senior instructor in Psychology at Portland State University, and the neuroscience coordinator and co-founder of Northwest (NW) Noggin, an art and neuroscience outreach nonprofit.
Action and Potential in Education, Outreach, and Research
What is outreach?
How do you do neuroscience outreach without specialist equipment or taking the contents of a lab with you?
We will be speaking with people who engage a variety of audiences with science and looking at some of the reasons, benefits, and challenges associated with outreach and the different ways in which you can spark a conversation about the brain.

Reconnecting Our Brains, One Cell at a Time
Our brains are home to billions of cells that love to reach out and connect. These networks of linked neurons and glia make us who we are, and let us perceive, think, and do. When separated by trauma, or injury, they are remarkably plastic, capable of establishing new synapses, developing creative approaches to navigating a complex world.
A pandemic is traumatic, separates networks, and makes it hard to connect with communities. But just like our brain cells, we can adapt and create new approaches to our ever-changing world. In this webinar, discover how Northwest Noggin, a nonprofit organization, is reaching communities with neuroscience research and brain cell art, using found materials and sharing online. Having a hard time distributing art supplies in this climate? NW Noggin’s found that brain cell forms are everywhere! Come join us and #showusyourbraincell! We are “Reconnecting our brains – one cell at a time.”
This webinar was a collaboration between NW Noggin and BrainFacts.org.
